The only thing I knew about Parkinson's disease was that it was an 'elderly person's disease'. (And my dad was only 45!)". She then goes on with some more info on her father, who by the way, at that time, was a producer/writer for the Cosby Show. This my point, younger, younger victims, whether they be 45, 40, or 35.
